Dr. Xu Gang
Due to differences in the pathological types of lymph nodes, symptoms may vary. In acute nonspecific lymphadenitis, the primary manifestations include lymph node enlargement, pain, and tenderness; in severe cases, large palpable masses may develop, with intensified pain, localized skin warmth, and systemic symptoms. In chronic nonspecific lymphadenitis, the main feature is the presence of palpable lymph nodes that are relatively firm but not accompanied by significant pain.
